[comp.lang.ada] Graphics in Ada

omullarn@oracle.oracle.com (Oliver Mullarney) (11/10/90)

I've been out of the Ada world for a while, and am curious as to the status
of GKS, which I used extensively when I worked with Ada. As I recall, GKS
was adopted as the 'official' graphics system for Ada, the main reson being
portability.

Has anything else (Phigs, X etc.) usurped GKS? Does anyone actually use it,
or does everyone doing graphics work write a binding to the native graphics
system for the hardware platform of choice?
